This year I am using a simple mix of 1/3 composted bark much, 1/3 perlite, and 1/3 peat-based potting mix.

I also have coum and grow it outside but, as you point out, it blooms when there is still a fair bit of snow and do not look as good as they could. Some time you have to dig them out to see the blooms! The one that does best for me is Cyclamen purpurascens which blooms in summer and likes our limestone.
For a cyclamens fancier, Victoria B.C. is the place. They volunteer in lawns and, I have seen abandoned gardens where they had taken over! Such a contrast to the East where we have to cosset them.
Thank you for the information about the mix you use. I think I should lighten up the soil where I have them. I should add some composted bark mulch to the leaf compost I mostly use.
